no of course they're not just stacked. I wouldn't have gotten that close. I'm not sure exactly what material they used to fasten then, but they're definitely stuck in place.
Miriam...how was it put together? I cant make it out. people see so many different things in their imaginations, dont they? What are the white "keys"? Did they just pull the keys out and glue them?Not use the keyboard? ??? scratching my head here.
@Bernice yes they just used the keys, much like you would tiles...LOL In the Mojave where we used to live as kids, someone had made a house out of bottles...back in like the depression era and it was in a ghost town so you could go through it and it was pretty cool, they had thick adobe walls and bottles just stuck through the wall about every six inches. The sunlight came through and it was like a rainbow inside really beautiful!
the wall picture in my article is pretty cool in the morning when the light is still in the east...I this pic I shot it later in the day...it is still cool
@KMS...I still think your pics are so enjoyable to look at, and I can imagine the sun coming in through the bottles.

love bling! @Sharron, I bet as a kid , it was a magical place! What a neat memory to have.

@KMS, that is so beautiful. It's an amazing way to recycle especially because all those bottles create a mosaic that really looks like it's made from precious gems.
